If you’re looking to spice up taco night, this recipe delivers a bold, smoky twist. These tacos are inspired by the punchy flavor of the Wild West, thanks to our signature Outlaw Rub, which blends paprika, chili powder, tamarind, and crystallized lime for a tangy kick that’s unforgettable. Whether you're feeding a hungry family or treating friends to a casual get-together, these tacos deliver maximum flavor with minimal effort.
Ingredients:
Filling:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or boiled)
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons Outlaw Rub
- 1 (four-ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for added moisture)
Assembly:
- 10 to 12 hard taco shells (standing-style if available)
- 1 and 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Sour cream (to taste)
- Microgreens or chopped cilantro (to taste, for garnish)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Outlaw Rub, green chiles, lemon zest, and olive oil. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated. Let the mixture rest for at least 15 to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully develop.
- Line a baking dish with your taco shells, standing them upright. Spoon the chicken filling into each shell, filling about three-quarters full.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the chicken in each taco.
- Bake the tacos in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the taco shells are golden and crisp on the edges.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Top each taco with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with microgreens or chopped cilantro.
- Enjoy!
